“Have you ever seen a cat penis???” - Troy from Community

People were happier in the stone age than they are in first world countries today.
Our brains did not evolve for the lifestyle we’re living today.
I sure as fuck would be happier out hunting, gathering and making handcrafted tools during the day, then telling stories by the campfire wrapped in a fur at night.
Even if there’s no toilet paper, I could get mauled by a bear every day, and if not, the tribe will leave me behind on the next migration when I’m too old and weak to keep up.I’d rather live 30-60 years like that than edit another Excel sheet. Sadly, our “civilization” made that way of life completely impossible.
the tribe will leave me behind on the next migration when I’m too old and weak to keep up.
FWIW, this part is almost certainly not true.

These are just a handful of these types of stories, there’s loads more if you want to search for them. But the upshot is: your family or tribe would have taken care of you to the best of their ability, for as long as they could, and you would have been given a decent burial when you died.
I know that, but what choice is there when the reindeer leave and Grandpa can’t walk anymore?
Carry him ?
Tailgaters (people who drive too close behind another vehicle) are idiots.
Cops are liars.
Anti-vaxxers, and other conspiracy nutters, are anti-science cretins.
I agree that tailgating is unsafe and one could view the behavior as idiodic but there’s usually a reason it’s happening… to signal to you to move the fuck over.
If you are camping in the passing lane of a highway/freeway - I argue you are just as much of an idiot.
Most instancss I have experienced of tailgating are when people want to drive too fast or unsafely:
-
I’m going more or less exactly 50 kph, which is the speed limit in the city, but someone thinks because the street is broad and straight they should be able to go 70+.
-
I know the route and know some dangerous curve or sudden intersection behind a curve is up ahead so I slow down but someone behind me doesn’t like it.
Sure it happens that people are going too slow. Even then it’s no excuse to tailgate. All that does is make everything less save for everyone including you. You can honk or overtake at the next opportunity, but all you achieve by tailgating is risk your own life.

Insecticides (which are based on disrupting insect sex hormones) are making men more feminine. The industry says it’s impossible, that they are only parts per billion of what you eat. Still.
Müller forcefem world champ lfg
The user’s query “Müller forcefem world champ lfg” appears to be a mix of common names, an unusual term, a title, and an internet acronym. The search results do not contain a clear match for a specific individual named Müller who is a “forcefem world champ”.
JESUS WAS AN ALIEN, AND WE STAPLED HIM TO A TREE.
NOW THEY AIN’T GON COME BACK.
That explains the miracles. He took on a humanoid form so he wouldn’t frighten their simple minds, and the “miracles” he performed were just him using contemporary alien tech to heal illnesses and turn water into wine. Dude was just trying to help advance humanity, and they killed him anyway.
Imagine the insane technology we’d have today if the Romans just let him do his thing.
“water into wine” was a story about sneaking libation in where it was was forbidden. It was more “quarter behind the ear” than actual magic.
Cool. Do more pls. Other bible story interpretations pls
There was a guy named Hero of Alexandria who was alive at the time of Jesus. He was a brilliant inventor, like the DaVinci of his day. He wrote 4 books. The first 3 are about his own inventions and the 4th seems similar but is thought to be a book explaining how other common things worked. In that 4th book he details how a trick “water into wine” jug works.
This is like Jesus trying to prove who he is by doing a card trick. “Look, I know all the other card tricks are just tricks, but THIS ONE is really magic.”
When I drop something on the floor and then blow on it in short soft bursts, it’s suddenly clean enough to consume.
Anything powerful enough to make you sick from a few seconds floor contact with the food is probably gonna get you anyway.
Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) was a great game.
Damn
Reincarnation
I just can’t get over the idea of:
Nothing --> Existing --> Nothing
So I figured, an unscientific philosophical guess, that existence is more like:
Noting --> Existing --> Nothing --> Existing (again) --> Nothing --> Existing (again) --> [repeating forever]
Maybe “souls” is just an energy.
Einstein said energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So maybe, when we die, we become an energy that, by some ways we can’t yet understand, just randomly becomes a part of another living being… maybe a human, maybe non-human, maybe this energy stays nearby here on Earth, maybe it somehow goes to a random alien planet and you become an alien the “next life”… who knows?
Or maybe this is just another coping mechanism my brain cane up with in face of the knowledge of certain death, influenced by the Eastern philosophy that I grew up with? Whatever…

That’s pretty much what science says
Aliens have quarantined the solar system to prevent contamination of the universe by humanity. They are waiting for us to incinerate ourselves and keeping the other races safe until we finish the job.
If they had the technology to do that they could just wipe us out
Even dropping a single nuke in the right spot would be enough to blow up everyone (humans initiating nuclear response)
I got one - and it’s the only conspiracy theory I give any credence to.
All of Helen Keller’s feats were utter bullshit and were a circus side show to bring money to her family. It’s the perfect “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it” fairytale. Like hell she flew an airplane, ain’t no way she wrote a book.
Before anyone provides evidence of the contrary, I will not accept it no matter how damning it is. Hence the “firmly hold.”
It’s depressing to me that one of the top upvoted comments here is ‘there’s no way a deaf blind person could have been literate.’
You’re absolutely correct that her legacy has been used as inspiration porn, but that doesn’t reflect on her intellectual abilities at all, just what stories society and the powerful want us to hear. Even during her own life Keller experienced exactly that once she became a socialist, and suddenly all the newspapers and people who went on at length about how capable she was suddenly believed her unable to reason because she was blind and deaf. Keller herself even spoke out against using her story as a way to tell people that anyone can do anything, and specifically that the poor didn’t have the opportunities she had.
Mate. Look at where you’re at. People aren’t upvoting me because I’m right, they’re upvoting me because I answered the question.

Keep your words out of my mouth. You’re just looking for an excuse to be offended.
There are less troll answers here than I would have expected from lemmy
